## Folder Structure
-The internal folder contains poolifier internal benchmarks.
-The versus-external-pools folder contains benchmarks versus other Node.js pools.
+The [internal](./internal) folder contains poolifier internal benchmarks.
+The [versus-external-pools](./versus-external-pools) folder contains benchmarks versus other Node.js pools.
## Poolifier vs other pools benchmark
-To compare poolifier pools performance vs other pools performance we chose to use [hyperfine](https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine).
-We chose to use this tool because it allows to run isolated Node.js processes so that each pool does not impact each other.

+- External pools with which we compare the poolifier results:
-Those are our results:
+ - [piscina](https://github.com/piscinajs/piscina)
+ - [tinypool](https://github.com/tinylibs/tinypool)
+ - [workerpool](https://github.com/josdejong/workerpool)
+ - [worker-nodes](https://github.com/allegro/node-worker-nodes)
+ - [node-worker-threads-pool](https://github.com/SUCHMOKUO/node-worker-threads-pool)
+ - [nanothreads](https://github.com/snuffyDev/nanothreads)
-- CPU Intensive task with 100k operations submitted to each pool [BENCH-100000.MD](./versus-external-pools/BENCH-100000.MD)

-### Internal
+- External pools with which we used to compare the poolifier results:
-To run the internal benchmark you just need to navigate to the root of poolifier project and run `npm run benchmark`
+ <!-- - [node-worker-threads-pool](https://github.com/SUCHMOKUO/node-worker-threads-pool): removed because it does not support dynamic modules import or import outside the task function. The task function is expected to be self-contained, which makes it difficult to use in real world application without ugly hacks. -->
-## Versus other pools
+ - [worker-threads-pool](https://github.com/watson/worker-threads-pool): removed because unmaintained since more than 4 years.
+ - [threadwork](https://github.com/kevlened/threadwork): removed because unmaintained since more than 3 years.
+ - [microjob](https://github.com/wilk/microjob): removed because unmaintained since more than 5 years.
+ - [threads.js](https://github.com/andywer/threads.js/): removed because not a threads pool.
-To run the benchmark versus other pools you will need to:
+> :warning: **We would need funds to run our benchmarks more often and on Cloud VMs, please consider to sponsor this project**
-- [Install hyperfine](https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine#installation)
-- Run the `./bench.sh` into the `versus-external-pools` folder
+Read the [README.md](./versus-external-pools/README.md) to know how to run these benchmarks.

+## Poolifier internal benchmark
